Israel's security cabinet has approved plans to increase its control over the occupied West Bank. These measures will make it easier for settlers to acquire Palestinian land, which is often taken illegally. The decision has sparked worldwide condemnation. The United States has clearly stated its opposition to any Israeli annexation of the territory. Many wonder if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right government will still move forward with these plans. The situation raises concerns over the possibility of renewed violence in the Palestinian region. Experts like Yossi Mekelberg of Chatham House, Ammar Hijazi, Palestine’s ambassador to International Organisations in The Hague, and Chris Doyle from the Council for Arab-British Understanding are discussing the fallout of this move. The new actions widen Israeli power in the West Bank and add fuel to an already tense conflict.
